Player Discussion Jakob Silfverberg II

[Ducks DVM]

More experience, he's got good chemistry with Kesler and Cogliano, and he's not injured for once.

Also, he's playing with confidence.

 

[AngelDuck]

Everything is working for him

He's kind of a late bloomer for a forward honestly. Most guys are not still improving at 26 these days

 

[Nordic*]

where is the infamous gif of his facial expression in an interview from like 2 years ago, lookung like he's ready to commit suicide after yet another game with 100 chances and not being able to score. =d

Here is the dog version of that look:

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Definitely seems he is learning how to dictate the pace when he has the puck better.

 

[AngelDuck]

Sold energy I said developing into am Alex Steen type. What a player

 

[Nordic*]

If only he had played like this during the World Cup.

 

[HanSolo]

Well good thing he's playing this way for the Ducks.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Maybe he's still a second half player and this is the beginning of a whole new level of play for Silf.

That was game 43 so it's already begun

 

[Nordic*]

Leads the team in even strenght points.

 

[Magnus the Duck]

His release is great, I'd say. Shot is just of the stick and in the top corner.

 

[Sojourn]

His release is great, I'd say. Shot is just of the stick and in the top corner.

Really does seem to be the case. He either misses his shot, or it's in the net.

 

[Arthuros]

Remember how Silf was last year?

 

[anezthes]

He's left the mountains and evolved into Silfverbeast.

 

[snowave]

Watching him up close (and not just when the camera is on him) at the CO game the other night really put it into perspective to me how much he's improved. My wife even said even said Silf is playing incredible on both sides of the puck.

Also, it was nice to be around so many enthusiastic Ducks fans. I suspect most of them are CA transplants, like me. There was even a guy with a huge Ducks flag that he had draped over some empty seats and was walking around the concourse with it during intermissions.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

He's left the mountains and evolved into Silfverbeast.

 

[Ducks in a row]

Injured in tonight's game

 

[Nordic*]

Any news?

Confirmed concussion?

 

[darkwingduck]

Confirmed out vs wild, day to day. Id say concussion it would seem. Bummer since it always sets him back half a year.

 

[Duck Off]

I just hope he comes back as the same player. He was a different player after the Torres hit. There's no good time to ever get a concussion, but sucks worse considering he was playing at a completely new level this year.

 

[Ducks DVM]

It shouldn't be the same. The Torres hit seemed to make him fearful of going to the places where he'd get hit. Hopefully he won't be afraid that the ice will be coming after him.

 

[cheesymc]

We need to throw away a game with the Avs and unleash some goons on McKinnon and Barrie to make a statement. They will keep the headshots coming until the ducks do something.

How was the Zadorov hit a headshot? It's unfortunate that Silfverberg was hurt on the play, but it was a clean hit. If it is a concussion it more likely happened from him hitting his head on the ice.

 

[Ducks in a row]

Silfverberg has gotten injured mutiple times and each time after coming back he wasn't as good as before until after a good long while I do worry when he comes back he will not be nearly as good for a long while.
